...seeking advice from the deli llama.

Marp is a sound I make, tea is a thing I drink, creativity is this awful chronic condition I have, bottles are what I collect, yoga is what I practice, burlesque is my fall-back career, funny is what I like people around me to be, and odd is what I am.

things girls are made to feel ashamed of-

• having periods
• choosing what they want to wear on their body
• wanting to/not wanting to have sex
• putting boys in the ‘friendzone’
• standing up against misogyny
• ruining a boy’s life by telling the police that he raped her
• abortion
• having hair on their body
• not appreciating catcalls
• not appreciating chivalry
• having control over their own fucking body

basically living

How to use your white privilege

If the “passing privilege” person is looking at this blog, this is one thing you can do, if you’re up to it.

Reblogging for excellence.

Too beautiful.

More passing people, and people who recognize white privilege should do this

for the white folk who ask “but what am i supposed to do about all of this”

soooooooosososososo so good.

WHITE PASSING/WHITE PEOPLE PLEASE WATCH THIS IF YOU EVER WERE GONNA WATCH ANYTHING WATCH THIS.

Just wanna state that I believe being hard femme also means using your privileges (whatever they may be) and your ability to be hard badass femmes to smash down on oppression just like this.

Amen.

YES YES YES YES I’M FUCKING CRYING ALL OF THIS YES THANK YOU.

I just shared this with my husband (who is white).

The story also reminded me of when I went to the West Hollywood Agent Provocateur with my friend Elisabeth Dale (author, breast expert, and also a white woman). The two white sales staff bent over backwards to entertain her, and when she purchased a very expensive pair of sunglasses, didn’t even blink.

However, when I went to purchase a $20 book, they needed to see my ID and verify that I was who I said I was.

Racism is real, y’all.
